    Heh. Reminds me of when my school bus ran into the back of my old mans car on the way into school (a suitably long time ago). When my dad then later phoned the bus company to chase up some details he said he was calling about the collision, they replied with 'Which one?' [:s]

    Bus drivers.. meh.

    Good luck getting it sorted quickly - though it sounds like you've got a clear cut case in your favour for both incidents.

    ...checking out the advert on the back of that bus, it may be worth a visit to the man upstairs!

    If it was a MK3 then fair enough you might think it was an act of god but not a lovely Jazzy blue mk4 surely!

    What - A MK2 would have been protected by it's plastic arches - would have done more damage to the bus!

    From personal experience a lot of bus companies don't pay out on insurance and sometimes the law seems to be on there side. We was told they are big enough we should give way to them.

    As soon as I saw him, I stopped, where else was I meant to go, as he was originally on my side of the road.

    So what you are saying that when you are driving a car, anything bigger than you always has the right of way, and they will never be blamed, I don't think so.

    Apologises, didn't mean to bite your head off, just a bit of a touchy subject.

    The Golf's now in the bodyshop for the next week or so, the insurance company gave me a nice new Jetta 2.0 Tdi Sport DSG to run about in.

    My insurance company is of the opinion he is 100% to blame, although the bus company are still refusing to accept blame, thus their legal recovery team are now at them.
